A Message from the President<br />
We appreciate this opportunity to show you <strong>Central</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Community</strong> College. Through the pages in<br />
this catalog you can learn more about the programs, courses, <strong>and</strong> services available to you. While we<br />
are proud of the offerings we present to you here, we cannot show you on mere printed pages the human<br />
dimension of our College—a caring faculty <strong>and</strong> a supportive staff.<br />
There are many places you can go to learn, but there are few where you can find people who are as<br />
dedicated to serving you as the faculty <strong>and</strong> staff at this College. Counselors <strong>and</strong> advisors will help you<br />
select a program <strong>and</strong> register. Instructors will work with you inside <strong>and</strong> outside of class to develop your<br />
full potential. Financial aid specialists will help secure the resources you need to pay for your education.<br />
A job placement coordinator will help you find the job that will launch your new career <strong>and</strong> advisors will<br />
help you decide how <strong>and</strong> where to continue your education. You will find caring <strong>and</strong> supportive people<br />
wherever you turn.<br />
Please accept our personal invitation to visit the College, to walk through our facilities, to see our<br />
state-of-the-art equipment, but most of all to meet the people who will help you open the doors to<br />
your future.<br />

Accreditation<br />
<strong>Central</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Community</strong> College is accredited by the New Engl<strong>and</strong> Association of Schools <strong>and</strong><br />
Colleges, Inc., a non-governmental, nationally-recognized organization, which certifi es public <strong>and</strong><br />
private colleges <strong>and</strong> universities throughout New Engl<strong>and</strong> that meet its st<strong>and</strong>ards.<br />
An accredited school or college is one that has available the neces sary resources to achieve its<br />
stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, <strong>and</strong> gives<br />
reason able evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is<br />
also addressed through accreditation.<br />
Accreditation by the New Engl<strong>and</strong> Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole.<br />
As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered or the competence<br />
of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities<br />
available to students who attend the insti tution.<br />
Inquiries regarding the status of the institution’s accreditation by the New Engl<strong>and</strong> Association<br />
should be directed to the President of the College. Individuals may also contact the Association:<br />
